The spirit you'll feel this summer happens year-round at Parker!

Students exploring our 77 acres of woods and creeks to test water quality...or assembling fuel cells in our science lab. Arriving each morning, they eagerly anticipate the day's adventures. Driven by curiosity, they find their own answers, and build the confidence they'll need to determine their own place in the world.
